WIP

sigh, not much more to share. This cold is one of the worst I've ever had. At the end of the day, I'm without energy to stitch!! Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day.

Because of this for-krap cold, I had my son hand carry my Mom's gift to her. I stayed in the car -- my Mom's birthday is Friday. I gave her the Soweth Sampler which I finished up in June or July. She called & said she liked it. Go me : )

Thx to Melody & Elaine who have a bag of stash for me. I am grateful.

Stitching with a headcold

Sew With Kindness
Freebie, c.1997 - Mary Garry

I'm using over-dye [GAST] and cotton floss [DMC] on 25-count raw linen. Won't she look better with eyes & hair .... LOL. Her skirt has little motifs of hearts, scissors, cabin. More soon -- I just knew I'd come down with this cold. I could feel it coming on ... DH told me once I was over the fever, I'd feel much better. Yeah, right. Everything just hurts. The only thing that sounds good is taking a nap.

Stitching by Alexander

Wee Wooly
Cecilia Turner, c.1995 Heart in Hand Needleart


Alexander [youngest son] stitched this a couple years ago. He used DMC cotton floss on aida cloth. He selected a Mill Hill crystal heart & braided the lamb's collar. We made cording. Together, we started to complete the finishing -- and, it got 'lost' in Alex's room. Last night, I added the cord + lamb button.
